Rick Lindemann shared an idea in Get Satisfaction on September 28, 2007 20:00:

Icon feature could be spelled out better
While I was able to find the custom icon feature (under Dashboard), I expected to find it under my account. I would not have bothered with a custom icon had it not been for the cupcake design (ick) that was assigned to my nickname when I posted my first reply. So, I guess my primary idea is to add a link to (and explanation of?) the "Dashboard" in the account info interface page. A related idea is to omit the automatic cupcake and use the universal "X in a box" for first-timers.

They get tuna as a treat once a week, and one loves "people food" tidbits. I have tried so many times to get them to switch to something healthier and they just refuse. My question for all of you pet owners out there - have you had trouble getting your pets to eat or switch to nutritious food? If your pet has had specific problems such as hairballs, obesity, diabetes, etc. did you see an improvement in their health by purchasing products touting specific treatments such as weight loss or senior formulas? Just curious. Any strategy for getting a pet to change its food?" in IAMS :

Our 15-year-old indoor cat loves dry food (we feed him Science Diet). He has had diabetes for more than 5 years. We were able to drastically lower his insulin dosage by coverting half his food intake to canned food. We give him dry kibbles after he's eaten the canned food and received his insulin. The canned food he currently likes best is Petco's "Authority" Ocean Fish. We used to feed him Friskies canned food, but weaned him off during the Chinese by-products scare. Sometimes I pour tuna water on canned foods he snubs.

Do you think this answers the question? Mark it as answered
